I'm Lisa, a Dutch travel blogger from Amsterdam who's spent the last decade hunting down Europe's secret islands, hidden wine regions around the world, and dog-friendly luxury stays before they hit the tourist radar. I founded Dutchbloggeronthemove after falling in love with slow travel—the kind where you actually taste the wine with the winemaker, rent a Vespa to explore volcanic islands, and discover beaches where locals still outnumber tourists. I travel with my Labrador Buddy, which means I'm an expert at finding places that welcome four-legged friends. From Croatia's hidden islands to South Africa's wine estates, from Sicily's volcanic archipelagos to Oman's desert landscapes, I share honest guides that go beyond Instagram—the real restaurants, the actual costs, and the secrets locals whisper over rakija.
